Overview of Resorcinol

Resorcinol is an organic chemical compound widely used as a functional active and intermediate in personal care, hygiene, and speciality home care formulations. It appears as a white to pale pink crystalline solid and is known for its antiseptic, keratolytic, and antimicrobial properties.

In personal care applications, Resorcinol is commonly used in hair care and scalp formulations, especially in hair dye systems and medicated products, where it supports color development and helps manage scalp-related concerns.
